these plans do reduce spending in ways that will be painful and for many communities in the united states transformative but it's worthy of note and somehow hasn't much been mentioned that not a single plan out there reduces the national debt they just change the speed by which it grows while the politicians not leave town david who would be to blame if the american economy hits a brick wall so so then today from the u.s. based trends journal to the political elite will recognize simple solutions to america's deficit. the country is going bankrupt just look at the numbers the numbers don't lie the politicians lied but let's look at the bigger picture first of all there devaluing the dollar and we've been saying it all along gold in the last month has gained one hundred fifteen dollars an ounce that's what they're not talking about in all this deficit reduction hey how about the military budget how about slashing foreign aid fifty seven billion dollars a year how is that out companies like general electric that made fourteen billion

dollars last year paying no taxes look there's plenty of room out there to start raining this thing in and turning it around we do not have a representative form of government we have a government that represents only the very powerful and the very rich and that's all this is about letting them keeping their parks. economic illiteracy is plunging america deeper into crisis so says much kinds of financial experts and thanks to the kind of reporter naughty. the world is adjusting the dollar will lose its status as a world reserve currency us debt will lose the aaa rating and it's a complete different configuration and washington is not the biggest player in this if they were being mad as shit by somebody who knew something about economics not barack obama who's financially illiterate they would allow the dollar to collapse against other currencies let the economy go through two or three years of

a gut wrenching depression and come out of it and rebuild but keep their sovereignty intact otherwise america will end up like greece losing their sovereignty america will end up like other countries and their ozone like ireland that's lost its sovereignty to the i.m.f. or these other banking institutions i think most americans would prefer to be sovereign and free than to be a vassal state of international bankers. where they will get a second deadline for raising the debt ceiling in the us is rapidly approaching and there's still no solution on the horizon but we hope for this taking the risk to the streets of new york to find out whether americans feel a financial apocalypse is around the corner. with the looming debt crisis the u.s. is watching the clock tick down to an economic armageddon what does that even mean that this week let's talk about that they keep setting dates over and over again and nothing happened just part of the negotiation process i think so it's idle

threats i believe so do you expect more from the people you like. neither party is going to let this actually happen where they would let it expire and then the united states would go into default i don't think that's going to happen i think that's a bluff but i think what actually is at hand is for real and they're they're using it as leverage to push their respective issues but i think americans if i'm speaking for myself as an american are sick of it or they don't represent the viewpoints as they think to the river representing but i don't i think they keep on saying the american people want this america be aware of this but i don't think anybody really what they really want what do you want i would like to compromise right now the drama right now is largely contrived there is a debt crisis but will make it through and you know will pay the bills and things will be fine so all this drama i think is just making people crazy why are they doing that now i mean we raise the debt ceiling every year why is this drama unfolding right now well it's largely political because the upcoming election you

know it's a good thing it's finally happening i think the people are speaking up. and hopefully will get our way but sometimes it takes a while to bad things really are i mean nobody is given any ground of so you know you log before for many many years and this is absolutely truly amazing and makes me wonder how they ever get anything done in israel or in italy or any place where they have multi parties i mean we go to parties to an airport if you include the two guys and we can't get anything done is utterly embarrass amish will be ashamed of themselves no matter what happens with the u.s. debt crisis the bottom line is we're. bound to be a lot more pasturing from all the politicians involved. while still to come on the program uplifting expectations flying around plane in russian easy i think p.c.'s welcome the first steps to free the country small

aircraft out thank you for strictures and anticipate well. also more than a year has passed since the indian government gave all children the right to free education has helped to bridge a social divide. tens of thousands of protesters gathered in egypt's tahrir square for one of the biggest rallies since president mubarak was overthrown five months ago the largest group in attendance for ultra conservative muslims calling for the introduction of sharia law journalist and blogger austin mackell who's in car it says the arab spring has produced a strong and divisive is the most meant a unity and it was a sign the liberal islam is forces were going to come together to continue their push for sort of basic democratic rights but down in the square i was just down and before i came here. is a huge number of. muslim brotherhood members it is deadly to most just where has.

the time that i've been and they many chance of. islamic identity and this is the islamic nature of egypt which is cause some friction with. the secular forces who are normally it is if you look also dominated tightly they're the ones who run the would be running a sit in there for a month since the clashes that happened at the end of june but today they are not by the islamists. well the show rest is also taking place in neighboring israel thousands of young protesters pitched a tent camps across the country cities calling for social justice and voicing discontent at government policies and mass rallies planned for saturday palestinian israeli journalist who sarah predicts israel is edging closer to revolution. two thirds of the poor in israel are working poor people who are working every day people who have a great jobs and still are not able to go above the poverty level so that's

a reason that people are coming out of the street if you look at how the protesters started it's almost identical to how it started in egypt and internees and other places started through facebook somebody who made a post on facebook through social media that's how people organize or was organized completely in the beginning by the young people in israel student people who feel that they have no future people who feel who can't afford living here in that i was realizing that this is not the way to go forward and he's trying to figure out ways to deal with it because the government could definitely fall in israel and these are ground and i think he is in danger especially that the process there is a growing while israel has been under building in tel aviv and then all these major cities in israel is all have been overbuilding in the west bank focus of the israeli government at the moment is more sustaining the occupation and more sustaining the settlement rather than caring for the majority of the population who actually opposed to the lands and oppose occupation and israel proper so that the

problem here though is a still many israelis have not been able to make their connection and the more and the sooner israelis make their connection realize that declaration affects their daily life affects the pennies that the government spending the money the government spending in the west bank verses and israel i think you will see a real revolution in israel. more than a year has passed since the indian government announced precedented rights to education act the one saying that something out of it received battling the country economic divide the concept was to provide compulsory and free education for all children aged six to fourteen avarice artie's sure it's covered form is facing tough challenges. it's dawn in india's capital city of new delhi an eight year old cushy just wall is getting ready for school while there are nearly two hundred million elementary school children like cushy in india only half that number ever complete the eighth grade most end up leaving school to help their parents with

domestic work or to get a job to bring in some extra money and i haven't studied much that's why i want to educate my children after growing pressure to address the educational disparities in india the government passed an act making it mandatory for all children between the ages of six and fourteen to get a free education it even requires elite private schools with tuitions nearing five hundred dollars per month to grant a quarter of their seats to students from disadvantaged backgrounds like cushy. number. today there are just as many schools where students have to pay a choice unlike this one as there are free schools that are funded by the government according to the act it's up to the parents to decide where they met their needs to school that means a student like cushy can attend an elite private school if he enters that wins the

lottery and gets into the twenty five percent quota it also means that if government workers are able to identify and successfully enroll. that are at a time they got to schools like the ones pushing attendance now could get overcrowded but the idea of free schooling in india has its opponents with concerns even raised by proponents of the act preschools have no doubt didn't quality and i think poor parents are much smarter than that. and they want to quantity and quality is something that the principal of cushy school knows has a different definition depending on the school while the teachers want to see their students succeed they believe that integrating indian children from a lower class into. a private school would not be practical. these elite schools have a very high standard only jewel whose parents are educated can study in schools like these schools want to maintain their high standards and reputation how can poor

people send their children to schools like these because their parents are all educators even at home there is no one to tutor or supervise their studies or homework it's a position supported by the well off members of indian society the schools are not meant for them. it's meant for. the good neglected in the sense that he comes from around his parents are probably labeled as a what they were. putting him in that sort of. so he would have trouble getting assimilated in spite of the mixed reception the integration model received for children like cushy education is simply about accomplishing her dreams i want to study to the twelfth grade ten become a teacher. but it's a dream that may just fall through the gap of india's socio economic divide. preassure either r.t. new delhi india. on our website you can always get more news stories and

eight hours to get their views were fantastic while although in november last year russia dumped at a new war for small aircraft pilots it sounds very promising abolishing much of the preflight paperwork letting the pilots use new airfields and generally adopting international flight rules it's a dream for any plane owner in russia however not all of the old restrictions were lifted back in the soviet times you actually had to have all the paperwork with you during the flight now the rules have changed but there are still some third and sometimes even a third requirements for the pilots of small planes for instance even if the pilot and the mechanic in the same berth the you know has the main plane would come and a phone from one to another the new regulations allow the so-called notification mode instead of asking for permission for takeoff from the authorities in theory the pilots can now use the internet for air traffic control of their plans but in

reality it rarely works. as you can see there are many forbidden no restricted zones around moscow so it's impossible for us to use notification mode anywhere within a two hundred kilometer radius of the capital even with the new law dozens of government organisations issue all sorts of contradictory instructions for pilots it's a major disincentive for pilots to make the effort to take to the skies and that means that russia is missing out on the potential pot of gold will some countries like the u.s. get billions of dollars from small aircraft fees and taxes russia doesn't get a cent parkour if a few of the current regulations are in chaos and in that mess we're losing around five hundred billion rubles annually from the governor of the. however many pilots like. this year's scoop on air show are up to mystic about the real chrissie. the new always just the first time any step the rest of the world is ahead of us
